Rizzo went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Rizzo notched just his second multi-hit game since May 26 and picked up just his second and third extra-base hits since May 23. The 33-year-old has been going through a miserable slump at the plate and had just four hits in 13 games during June before Tuesday's three-hit effort. He has five RBI over his last four games but is still homerless since May 20. Rizzo is now slashing .270/.345/.441 with 11 homers, 37 RBI, 34 runs and a 21:64 BB:K over 287 plate appearances.

Harris was promoted to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Harris had a slow April for Double-A Frisco but had an .827 OPS with 11 steals over the last month for the RoughRiders. He went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and two additional runs scored in his first game with the Express.

Wade was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Padres due to right side tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Wade is slashing a very impressive .308/.431/.519 during the month of June, but side problems will cause him to miss Tuesday's game. The Giants will take a closer look at Wade to determine the severity of his injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Wade was scratched from the Giants' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus San Diego, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's unclear at the moment why Wade was taken out of Tuesday's lineup, but the Giants will likely offer an explanation relatively soon. In the meantime, David Villar will enter to play first base in Wade's place.

Padlo is starting at first base and batting sixth Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Padlo will draw his first start after being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. The right-hander will replace lefty Jared Walsh in the lineup as the Angels square off with southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Padlo has produced a .273 average with seven homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs scored and six stolen bases over 110 at-bats in 32 contests with Salt Lake in 2023.

Mountcastle (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle is symptom-free following a bout of vertigo and could be ready to return to the Orioles' active roster by the end of the week. Baltimore might opt to ease him back into action, though, with Ryan O'Hearn showing so well at first base. Mountcastle has slashed just .227/.264/.422 through 60 major-league games this year but he's managed to tally 11 home runs and 39 RBI.

Lowe batted fifth and went 1-for-3 with two walks in Monday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

Texas manager Bruce Bochy tweaked the lineup Monday, swapping Lowe and Josh Jung in the order. The manager told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that he wanted to break up two consecutive lefties -- Corey Seager in the two hole with Lowe behind him -- when facing a southpaw. The move worked out well Monday against Chicago's Tanner Banks. Bochy said he'll consider using the same lineup against southpaws going forward, while the lineup against righties will remain intact. That sounds like it was just an experiment Monday and not yet a permanent shift.

Casas went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Monday in a 9-3 victory versus the Twins.

Casas gave Boston some extra breathing room with his two-run shot to right field in the seventh inning that made the score 8-3. It was just his second long ball over his past 27 contests, though he's been hitting well of late. Casas is in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak during which he's batting .412 (7-for-17) with three extra-base hits, five RBI and a 4:3 BB:K.

Votto (shoulder/biceps) went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Votto made his season debut Monday after multiple surgeries and wasted no time making an impact, drilling a solo shot in the fifth inning and later adding a two-run single. He struggled with a .173/.340/.333 slash line in 22 rehab games with Triple-A Louisville prior to his MLB return. Between that, his .689 OPS in 2022 and the Reds suddenly looking like a playoff contender, it's unclear what Votto's role will be in the immediate future.

The Angels selected Padlo's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

The 26-year-old third baseman has put together an impressive campaign in Triple-A, slashing .273/.396/.555 with seven homers and 24 RBI through 134 plate appearances. He'll serve as the roster replacement for Anthony Rendon (wrist), who landed on the injured list Monday. Despite his gaudy Triple-A statline, Padlo will likely come off the bench while with the Angels.
